I once had a house on Dantooine (Star Wars Galaxies / Gorath December 15, 2011)

I did not play this game much at all after the NGE hit in 2005, but when I read Sony is going to shut down the official servers I just had to make a video of my interior decoration for my small flat on Dantooine :) Alien plants, artifacts and crystals I collected on some inhospitable planets as well as a whole kitchen build from in-game space junk. Oh my, I was really proud of that custom made chimney. In the cellar was a little studio for music sessions and holo chess ;)

Too bad I had no time anymore to make a video of my space yacht which was completely decorated as a disco inside. (I even had some droids with fully operational fog and laser show modules, as well as my personal barman) What I really liked about the game were the multi-passenger ships, as you could invite other players onto your space ship and tripp-out together. Back then I spent most of my time in game as a singer/dancer, creature handler, tailor, interior and image designer.

Sorry for the low fps and graphic glitches, something went wrong during capture and I had no time to redo it as these really are the last minutes on Gorath till the server was shut down.

Currently there is no graphical game on the market that comes even close to the open sandbox world of SWG, which once featured a completely player driven economy. Unlike EVE Online you also had a ground game with housing, crafting, player owned and administered cities, vendors, bars, theatres, communal elections etc.
At last even atmospheric flight was possible on the planets. As the game evolved players could make missions and storylines for other players to play, using a mission designer tool for easy access to all kinds of in-game assets and NPCs (called Chronicle Master System). This allowed even none-roleplaying players to make their first guided steps into the world of storytelling and game design.

Well, it seems not all hope is lost for the inhabitants of the Star Wars universe. We intercepted a message about a small group of rebels that survived... :D

Was this along the lake in the south central part of Dantooine?

When I played SWG back in 2004, I lived on Dantooine near the southwest corner in a town called Sarpedon on Ahazi server. I miss SWG and the beauty of Dantooine so much! Thanks for posting this video!

It's something special dying within you when a game you've played for a long long time goes away. I wonder how it will be when World of Warcraft dies :(

Reminds me of my house on Tattooine. Sigh...such a sad time.
